Default 2 Tooth Worm gear

I am redoing the 2 tooth steering box on my 1930 TS. I am probably going to buy the kit from Brattons that has just about everything except the worm gear, housing and the eccentric rivet.

The sector is worn visibly in my current set up, but I can see no wear on the worm. It has been painted a copper colour and the paint is worn away in the area on the worm where it contacts the sector, but otherwise is looks like new.

My question is: Do the Fordbarn experts usually retain the worm gear when it looks Ok when redoing a steering box and just replace the sector shaft and the other goodies?

Is there something on the worm that I can measure to determine the amount of wear?

The bottom roller bearing was also seized.
